For the last 24 hours I have been trying to find the words that truly express my thankfulness and gratitude to all of you that humored my fantasy to be Gwen Stefani for a day!
I am so overwhelmed with pride and love that I can barely articulate the honor I feel for all of you trusting me and my ridiculous idea to put on a celebrity impersonation Burlesque show, so cleverly named, CelebriTease!
Stephanie, thank you for running the door for me and giving me one less thing to worry about as I tried to take on way more than I should have. Having your willingness to help was a great relief and I thank you.
DJ Dirty Ears, thank you so much for saving me at the last minute. You stepped up in a way I could never imagine. From what you brought to the show as a dj to helping with after show clean up. I am so grateful for what you did for me/CelebriTease without having to be asked. I thank you!
Ben and Wayne. Thank you both for documenting the show! Without you two being there I might think my dream for this show was just that; a dream. I now know this really happened!
Jeffrey Xerxes Brice! Thank you for still talking to me after I asked you to play Bieber and actually saying yes to it! Even more so, thank you for sticking it through when another greater opportunity came your way. Mostly thank you for staying "just 2 more minutes" longer.
Kitschy Koo thank you for having the same fantasy as me. Knowing that you wanted to be Katy Perry as much as I wanted to be Gwen Stefani really made me want to get the show from idea to reality!
Scarlett Letter, I can't thank you enough for making the drive from Los Angeles (Ventura) on the hottest day of the Vegas year to be in my wee little show. You have always been a wonderful being and I am so happy to call you my friend! Thank you.
Penni Piper, you killed it! Thank you for coming in so late into the game and hitting a home run. When we brain stormed ideas at the bar I could never have imagined that what you did on stage could have topped our ideas and yet, you did just that! Thank you for doing all you did!
Jp Nomi Malone. Seriously! Thank you for being my pitch hitter so late in the game! I am in awe of you. You are truly a gift! Thank you, thank you for helping me have a successful show!
Morgane Latouche, what can I say that is more than what I have already expressed to you! You have found the perfect balance of professionalism and fun making what I do a dream come true!
Jack O'Hartz, I can't thank you for giving a girl what she needs! Making it last a few minutes longer... You turned my very basic directions into a crowd pleasing routine and I could not be more proud of what you did up there! Thank you.
Karla Joy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me give you the suggestion to play Christina Hendricks and just going for it no questions asked! You really made magic happen with the details of the pen necklace and the Secretary song!
I would like to thank Cha Cha Velour as well. While she is no longer part of our glittery stage, because of her blessing and push she helped me get the stage to live out my fantasy. Thank you.
To my dear friend and co-producer, Ricardo Montalbum. Thank you. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for not judging me through my mistakes in this venture. Thank you for taking part in the show with your talent for prose. Thank you for the extra you've given me.
Last, but definitely not least, thank you to my host extraordinaire, Bruce RADEL. You were a dream host working harder than I've given you credit for. Thank you for your support, for your patience as I shopped at Joann's, for helping me flyer, for being there through the stress, panic, doubt, tears, delusions, cussing, cursing, fighting, and all the negative stuff too. Without you I don't know if I would have survived this!
A quick thank you to my sponsors; Houdini Publishing, Bachelor Pad Magazine, SparkleLux, Arthelia's Attic, and Darkbloom Imagery (yes, I just thanked myself). You helped bring the magic to life.
This was truly a humbling and inspiring experience for me. The show was better than I could have hoped for! While this was my fantasy and my cast and crew made it a reality, it wouldn't have meant a thing without those that came out to see a live entertainment Burlesque show! To the fans and friends that support not just me, but Burlesque, thank you! For the many new faces we saw in the crowd, thank you for taking a chance on your night's entertainment with CelebriTease!
One last thing before I say good-bye. I will be casting for the second annual CelebriTease: The Hollywood Exposed Burlesque Show in 6 months so get your ideas and acts ready! I am looking forward to making the show even bigger and better than it was! If that's possible!
Goodnight and thank you!
